Intel vs AMD

The only thing AMD ever had going for them was value vs price. That has disappeared in recent years, hence why they are loosing market share.

I have found nothing to beat an Intel chip on an Intel chipset.

I don't need to use 64 bit for the majority of my installs, so I would rather not buy 64 bit. I always used to spec AMD and had few if any problems with their stuff. Now I have no choice but to use Intel. If AMD still did 32 bit, I would still be a customer of theirs.
